External API integration.

Question

Hello I want to integrate an external API which will check whether a given address (entered in a textbox in a local simple web application) is a fraudulent one or not. I'm new to the section of API integration in asp.net. I'm using visual studio 2010. So please provide me a valid API and the codes also which will directly interact with this API and do the task accordingly. Regards Ani.

Actually I want to hit an address verification API( online(HTTP requests) based API ) by which an address can be verified. This address will be entered in a textbox in a web application. And in turn it will return output as 'Verified address'. This API will return this output. So I want an address verification API and the code snippet which will do the task accordingly. Thanks in advance.

Then what is the problem can you specify? You can easily use the HttpClient object to get response from an HTTP API. You can send requests using HTTP verbs (GET POST PUT etc.) and then get the response from the server.

OK share what this API is like? Is it a DLL file to be added to your bin folder or is it an online (HTTP requests) based API? Please answer the above question to continue answering your question. :)
